    Hey there Ylanders!

    As you might have noticed, some new goodies have landed into Ylands a couple of days ago. The Goodie Pack #2 is here to shorten the wait for the next big update and yet again brings some pretty neat additions to the Ylands ecosystem. First of all the theme of this Goodie Pack was Ancient Egypt. Whilst last time we directed our attention to the wet Atlantean Empire, this time we ended up in the dry sandy lands of the Pharaohs.

    But before we started figuring out, what new to add, we had to address our good old friend The Mummy. A staple in Egyptian mythology and modern pop-culture, we added the mummy years and years ago...and he hadn't aged well ? So we decided to change his bandages for some cleaner ones and give the old chap a proper makeover and the outcome is pretty good in our opinion ? And what's more, we have also added a Mummy Wraps Set, so you can now pretend to be a mummy too ?

    But there are plenty of new items in the game now too, like the Bronze Weapon Set featuring a cool axe, a couple of spears a staff and a knife. To complement this, we have also added a Bronze Armour set. For the Creators out there we have also added a new Sandstone door for those old dusty crypts ?

    But the stars of the show, of course, are our new monsters, the Horus Avatar and Anubis Avatar. These new enemies will be a challenge for every tomb raider or daring archaeologist. Towering over the player they radiate power and strength and their attacks are devastating.

    But Explorers, do not fret! For this update is for us as much as for you, because now we can take these assets and start working on implementing them in exciting new Random Encounters and Adventures for update 1.5 so very soon you'll be able to meet Anubis and Horus in your own travels and fight the Mummy when you get a runny nose ?

    And last but not least, we also fixed some pretty annoying issues and you can find more about it in our changelog ?

    And that's it for now, but keep your eyes peeled on this space because there are rumours of a certain competition starting soon ?

    So until next time, stay classy Ylanders.

    " disappearing  items when placed"  glitch

    We are actually working on this one and should be fixed by 1.5 ?

    too  tired  hungry  and   angry to  send logs

    I think we have more than plenty to go on now. I've been logging in every log you sent and the programmers are going to read through them and try and find out, what is going on. Thank you for your heroic effort ?

    Another day   another log file. 

    Tried 5 times to  enter P1  game ...  same  message   unable to connect..

    Logs  etc  as usual

     

    output_log_clean.txt

    output_log.txt

    This isn't server maintenance though, right? This is something else? Not being able to login at all? We always need a short summary of what happened, so we know where and at what to look for ? And thank you for the logs.

    time now ....10:20 am   guess what ? logs attached

    output_log_clean.txt

    output_log.txt

    Can't guess. Was it again server maintenance? Because that should be fixed ? In that case it has to be because of something else than we first thought...

    Hey there Ylanders!


    While we are finishing up work on our small 1.4.1 update and also while working on our big 1.5 Exploration update, we thought we’d share a few good news snippets with you ?


    One of them being, as you might have noticed on various Social Media, that we won a couple of prizes ? At the 2019 Czech Games awards, which got postponed because of the covid situation, we managed to win not one, but two categories ? First one being the free-to-play category for the creative freedom we give every player interested in building and creating and second for best technology solutions, mainly for our Visual Scripting tools and overall powerful Editor. We are of course very proud of our hard-working team and humbled to receive such awards, but it is also because of your help and feedback, that we got to this stage, so thank you too ? But as we said in previous Dev Diaries, this in no way means, that we are done or that we are satisfied, but rather, that we want to get better and better, especially now with our big plans surrounding Exploration.

    Here are the awards themselves, though unfortunately, they are only in Czech and without subtitles.


    And second good news we have is, that while normally we keep the biomes of Ylands in china and Western Ylands separate, the Creators there are creating a huge amount of some truly spectacular games and projects, so we got together with our friends in China to port some of these games to our Workshop too, so you can try them out and enjoy some really ingenious games. There are a few on the workshop now, that you can try right away, but we’ll be getting some more in down the line. But this won’t be a one-way street, because down the line after some of our competitions, that we are very close to announcing, the best of the best from our Workshop will be invited to share their Creations with our chums in the East and maybe at some point we could do a competition between the two Workshops ? But that’s for another time.


    So until next time, stay classy Ylanders ?

    P.S. You can try out the games here:

    So our backend guys and our programmers have probably found the culprit (of the server maintenance bug) and while a proper fix will be present in update 1.5. they figured out a workaround fix, that should now be live. So hopefully you shouldn't be getting kicked by the Server Maintenance error anymore. The logs were crucial for this and it is because of them, that they found the problem, so thank you very much @kimbuck and @bobo198312 for sending them. Regarding the white screen and long loading times, we are still investigating this.

    Also, i, as a humble player since 2017, would really like to point that out to @Aleš Ulm and @Adam Snellgrove so they can check those two wonderful online experiences @Spyler and @Christalle have created for our pleasure with all the love they have for this game (and it dam nwell shows)

    We know, they are absolutely awesome ?

    Three years later, the bug still exists. Case in point. A paid server where i fell through and took a screen shot while falling.

    This is probably by now a new bug I'm afraid ? If it happens again, could you send us the output_logs? You can find them here \Program Files(86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Ylands\Ylands_Data
